Read through carefully please
1.) Intelleigence is the abilty to learn and understand things, which is derived from your ability to reason.
2.)There are said to be mutiple intellegences, such as spatial intelligence, linguistic intelligence, musical intelligence etc
3.) I disagree with the second premise. Because intelligence is the intellect's entire nature so if there are multiple intelligences, then one would have multiple intellects. That doesn't make sense.
4.) Therefore intelligence is one individual thing. So then spatial intelligence etc are simply the many forms that intelligence takes.
5.) That implies that intelligence is an independent thing. One can measure spatial intelligence etc by asking questions in different forms.
6.) If one where to test a person with different problems in the multiple forms of intelligence and then average the scores, the result would be invalid. Because intelligence is represented in different ways but it exists independent of its forms.
7.) So in order for one to measure intelligence, one must find a way to get intelligence( reasoning) on its own without forms such as language and pictures etc.
So how would you do that? Most people I mentioned this to weren't even able to understand the argument let alone solve it. Take a try.
